Welker and Mankins Miss Practice with Injuries

Wide receiver Wes Welker (ankle) and left guard Logan Mankins (ankle, hip, calf) did not participate after they each injured their ankles during Sunday’s victory against the Bills. Welker has been dealing with an ankle issue for several weeks, but Mankins suffered the latest in a line of ailments that have derailed his season. This was Welker’s first absence since Aug. 23, which was his only other absence since the start of training camp.
